Do yourself a favour and get a proper fitting done, it'll take out a lot of guess work and save you money down the road.. Otherwise, the bike looks nice..

I think I'm partially at fault. Pretty sure I went in asking for a 54. My first steel road bike a couple years back was a 54 and I came to the conclusion of getting that size based off of a height chart, but this was back when I knew nothing of cycling. Still learning, and now that I'm riding more I'm starting to understand what I need.

Well, shit.

Yeah, I'm just going to go ahead and schedule a Body Geometry fit this week. Too bad the LBS I bought it from doesn't do them.

i mean with the steeper seattubes, there are some* differences. all hope isn't lost. But if you were going to stick specialized i'd do a 52 if i was you. Well im the same size and i DID a 52cm. RIP frame =(
